LYRICS AND TYPE invites 17 leading international
typographers, designers and illustrators to graphically interpret a
line of lyrics by famous (both past and present) singers, songwriters
or bands through a combination of experimental type and illustration.
Designed as a build up to the release of Wooden Toy Quarterly’s soon to

TYPE aims to document each artists personal views on the importance of
music ‘vs’ influence and inspiration. To purchase prints and the Wooden Toy Quarterly 'Music' edition head for the shop at http://www.woodentoyquarterly.com/index.php?id=5&item=45&PHPSESSID=2f87ff1eabd7cd11fd8f64fefd7aff90
The lyric/song I chose is from the soundtrack to the 1973 original film 'The Wicker Man', the song title is 'Willow's Song', the line I selected to illustrate is 'A stroke as gentle as a feather'
